I just didn't think it was a very hard-hitting interview."<BR/><BR/>Robert Emery, another of McNamee's lawyers, said they'll wait until after Clemens's Congressional appearance on January 16 to decide whether to sue.<BR/>"If Congress calls him, he pretty much has to take the Fifth, and if he takes the Fifth, nobody will ever believe him again and all this effort has gone down the drain. And if he doesn't take the Fifth, it's very hard to imagine that a prosecutor isn't going to pursue this.

When I asked him what he didn't like about the story, he said, "I didn't read it." I responded, "Then how do you know you don't like it?"
